Where are you two? Let’s get ready for dinner.

“Shopping postponed,” she said with a grin to Jacey. “Your dad’s hungry. We need to get ready for dinner.”

Jacey walked beside her back to the elevators, eyeing the other guests as they walked along. There were families, singles, young couples and retirees—a wide assortment of ages and interests. But it seemed to Savannah that Jacey paid the most attention to the other teenagers. None of whom were dressed in black.

From a couple of sidelong glances and giggles that followed, Savannah suspected the teenagers were having a great time. She glanced at Jacey who looked at them with longing. Could she find a way to have Jacey hook up with other teens at the resort? Maybe there were special activities for that age group.

Savannah wore the same dress and sandals she’d worn in San Francisco. She’d planned more for hiking the High Sierras than dining at a fancy resort. Not that she didn’t have other appropriate dresses, but only two more. This remained her favorite.

When she stepped into the lounge shortly before seven, Declan was already waiting. He wore his suit and white shirt. She saw the gleam of appreciation in his eyes and was glad she’d worn the dress again. Not that it meant anything. But every woman likes to be appreciated when she takes the time to dress up.

“Jacey and I were in one of the dress shops when you paged. I think she saw another dress she liked that wasn’t black. Maybe she’ll try it on tomorrow,” she murmured, wishing she could just stop and stare at the gorgeous man in front of her.

“Have her charge it to the room,” he said casually. “Where is she?”

“Coming. Where are we eating?”

“The Montgomerys have asked us to join them in the Mariposa Room. I said we’d be there at seven.”

“Oh, I shouldn’t go then.”

“Why not?”

“If it’s business, I have no need to be there.”

“It’s not business, it’s dinner. Jacey and you are included.”

Savannah still wasn’t sure she should attend. This assignment was as unlike any other as she’d ever had. First, she’d never been so aware of a child’s father as she was of Declan. No matter how often she told herself she couldn’t allow herself to trust him, it didn’t stop the awareness that grew daily.

Awareness exacerbated by the memories of his touch, his kisses, his very presence in her past. Funny how she hadn’t thought about him in years and suddenly it was as if they’d parted only yesterday. Every memory she had popped to the forefront of her mind and she was hard-pressed to ignore the longing that grew.

A yearning for what could never be.

“Did you get all your work done?” she asked for distraction.

“Enough. It’s late back in New York and so I sent them home. We’ll get going again in the morning.”

Jacey opened her door and both Savannah and Declan turned toward the door.
